Britney Spears has recalled how she once considered a boob job as she opened up about body insecurities in another swipe at her father Jamie.

The singer, 40, has always denied having any surgical enhancements but admitted that she did once pay a visit to a plastic surgeon to enquire about breast enlargement during a lengthy post shared on Instagram on Thursday evening.

“My boobs are fairly small … I mean with the right bra it’s fine but I was curious what a doctor would say !!!” she explained to her 40m followers.

“I lost 7 pounds in the last 6 months and that’s a lot for me !!! I’m officially part of the ‘itty bitty t***y committee’ … they shrunk !!! I don’t know where my boobs went.”

She explained she didn’t have the consultation in the end as she waited 15 minutes outside the surgeon’s office but no one came to meet her.

The mother-of-two said concerns about her body stemmed from her father, Jamie Spears.

Mr Spears was in charge of a conservatorship which controlled most aspects of his daughter’s life until she freed from the arrangement in November after almost 13 years.

She has made several attacks on Mr Spears online, accusing him of controlling behaviour and abuse of power while in charge of her affairs.

In this instance, she called him out for berating her for being overweight.

“My dad always told me I was fat and being the heavy girl on stage wasn’t fun … It was humiliating !!!”

“I haven’t been shot well though, I’ve never been more humiliated and embarrassed in my life during the years in my conservatorship," she continued.

"I had one good cover in 13 years of my conservatorship … the rest were all extremely bad !!! They could have at least cheated and used technology … but they used it to make it worse !!! Such a f***ing waste of time.”

“If you are happy and have good energy, you are 100% attractive !!!" she wrote.

“Happy people draw light and it’s contagious and attractive !!! God knows the secret to my success was never how beautiful I was !!!

“I believe I was a tease,” she concluded, adding she had “Just a very cool energy !!!”

The pop star told how her weight had ballooned due to the medication she had been prescribed for mental health issues, which she said also made her “stupid and sad”.

“You can go brain dead if you take too much, that’s how strong it is !!! It made me stupid and sad and I gained so much weight,” she wrote.

“I felt ugly, angry and mean therefore I was just that !!! The manipulation behind my family’s scheme in subjecting me as if I had done something so wrong to literally throwing me away and taking all of my joy away is cruel !!!”
